Question
What does Maxwell's displacement current ensure in the generalized Ampere's law?
Explanation
**Charging capacitor** conduction current in wires equals displacement current between plates because dQ/dt = I_c = ε₀ A dE/dt = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt = I_d, preserving charge conservation, magnetic field between plates due to I_d, same as that due to conduction current. The document explains that displacement current ensures consistency in the magnetic field calculation across different surfaces, resolving the contradiction in Ampere's original law. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Consistency in magnetic field calculation, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
